Are you really happy? We would all love to be able to answer with an enthusiastic yes. But if you're like most people, your honest response would have to be "some of the time" at best, and more likely "no, not really."

Yes, too many of us endure lives filled with regrets and low self-esteem. We are bored, disinterested, and often terribly on edge. Some of us are even chronically anxious and depressed! And this is true even if nothing appears to be "wrong" in our lives—even if, in fact, everything appears to be just right.

Todd Patkin knows firsthand it doesn't have to be this way. From a childhood riddled with insecurity and perfectionism to an adulthood marked by the exhaustive need to always excel and achieve more to a devastating breakdown at the age of thirty-six, Finding Happiness: One Man's Quest to Beat Depression and Anxiety and—Finally—Let the Sunshine In chronicles Todd's very difficult but ultimately successful journey toward cracking the happiness code.

As Todd's engaging and unusual story reveals, real happiness isn't measured by what your life looks like, but by how you look at your life. If your current view isn't what you'd like it to be, Finding Happiness can help you bring everything into focus. Not only does Todd share his own hard-won insights, he ends the book by giving readers the step-by-step tools they need to build their best and happiest lives.
